DEVICE FQR SECURING PIPES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 662,586, dated November27, 19001.

Application filed August 13,1898. Serial No. 688,538. (No model.)

To f/,ZZ whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, FORTUNATO BERARDI, a subject of the King ofItaly,and a resident of the cityof Naples, in the Kingdom of Italy, haveinvented certain -new and useful Improvements in Devices for SecuringPipes, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to an improved means for tightening a wire around asupply-hose of a small motor for connecting the same to any suitablesource, such as a cock, faucet, or the like.

The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in whichnFigure l is a front View, and Fig. 2 a side view.

In the drawings, D represents a section of the hose around which thewire is to be tightened, and which is designed to be slipped over theprojecting end of a pipe or faucet, (not shown,) to which it is desiredto connect the said hose D, the neck of the stationary pipe or faucetentering the hose D to beyond the part where the wire surrounds thesame. A plate S' supports a bracket R, through which passes loosely thethreaded shank p of a T-shaped bar, the head or cross-bar P Of which hasa Wire Q connected to its ends at pp. The wire is coiled a couple oftimes around the hose D and is tightened by screwing upon the nut S,threaded upon the shank p and adapted to bear upon the bracket.

In order to prevent the Wire Q from cutting into the hose D, a sleeve Q'may be interposed, as shown.

What I claim is- A device for securing pipes and the like comprising abracket, a rod passing through the same, a thumb-screw threaded upon theupper end of said rod and adapted to bear against the upper side of thebracket,l a crossbar at the lower end of said rod and a Wire adapted toencircle the pipe or the like and having its ends connected to the endsof said cross-bar, substantially as described.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of twowitnesses.

FORTUNATO BERARDI.
